Chastity Coleman I def think so. I think D.Woods was a major wedge in the girls and never got along with Dawn and Aundrea which caused a rift and wouldn’t allow all 5 to be close. Taquita would have gotten along a lot better with everyone else
I agree she had so much personality and talent. She shoulda won a spot in the band. My eyes went on her against the dance battle with denosh. She killed it!!!
I remember seeing this wishing that Taquita made the band because she was so funny and I loved the battle too because she killed it. Definitely my favorite head to head.
Jay Hi5 Please D. Woods was needed for that group. She had a great personality, she could sing, she could dance her ass off, she had charisma, she had ass, she had that relatable homegirl down to earth quality. Let's also not forget that she was the key component in their two biggest hits "Showstopper" and "Damaged". I wish people would stop tryna downplay D. Woods just because she didn't wanna join the group again once they decided to get back together
TheMrsilverscott I agree with you. D Woods’ presence actually gave them swagger. No way they could pull off Showstopper without looking bubblegummy and try hard. She helped the group’s image. I’ll never forget when they were even introducing themselves at that club performance. All of the girls were embarrassing themselves (Auberella? 😂) . They weren’t feeling them until D Woods introduced herself
domique had that classic r&b sound which at this time that style was fading in popularity. but her voice is a gift .. and all these years later i understand why she didnt take that solo deal.
Looool I love the look on Shannon's face when she was standing in the background when Dominique started to sing. Bahahahaha Shannon was just kinda looking like "Well shit . . . "
The girl with the most beautiful voice was not even picked. This was not about vocal talent, it was about who could scream the loudest and hold a note.
FattShenanigans - Do you know the difference between screaming and singing? Do yourself a favor and attempt to sound great singing clearly at that level of volume. Not only that but the passion she exhibited affected people emotionally which is everything. It is true that the other girl had excellent skills but you clearly don’t have a clue about performance art.
it was a time where being skinny and pop/rnb friendly was being celebrated and pushed. no it wasn’t about vocal talent because Dominique would sing circles around anybody in that room.
soxnation1000 I really thought they might sign her solo. I don't know if her dance would have ever been at the level of the rest of the girls though and would have stood out in a bad way in the group. But her singing and her work ethic should have warranted her something.
I wouldn't have sent Kawi home I would have sent Kelly home instead. Kawi was a decent singer, strong dance and had the look. Kelly was just there the entire season she wasn't that good at anything.
I agree. Kaw had a look, personality and talent. But from watching Laurie Ann's reaction at Kelly's first audition, you can tell LA thought she was amazing. Kelly definitely wasn't going to be eliminated as she was LA's favorite.
Yeah but Shannon and kaui were competition to each other and Diddy liked Shannon more than Kaui so that’s why I think she went. Sadly. I agree about Kelly. Also along with Cindy, Wanita should have went home this round
Ok I get it now. I guess I missed it before. Dominique’s voice…yep I get the Dominique love. I just somehow didn’t notice before. She had the best voice no doubt.
There was no Danity Kane without D.Woods! She definitely added something needed to the group. I don't know why it had to be D.Woods or Tequita when I wanted both. I was more partial to Tequita over Shannon.
Looking back at this Denosh danced better than Taquita. However Taquita kept up well for as young and green she was while denosh has had actual music industry experience. And Dominique, well, that girls should have pursued a solo singing album
Dusky Joce Honestly, I didn't understand why he chose Shannon and D. Woods. Dawn's work ethic and dancing were on point, but I have always hated her singing.
That's all it takes in pop music: uniqueness. It's not about actual skill, technique, and talent. Dawn just didn't sound like everyone else; that didn't make her a great vocalist, though. I respect her grind. I do agree that Andrea had one of the better voices. Even my kids ask, "Is she the leader?"
Shannon made the band before the auditions because she was second place on fame which johnny write was a Jude on the year before this season. So he brought her and she was a given for the band. Dawn made the band before the start because Diddy had to buy her out of a contract with the producer Pooh bear.
